Changes

In the '''1946''' movie version of [[Charles Dickens]]'s '''''Great Expectations''''', Pip is accosted by an escaped convict in a graveyard and brings him food and drink. The convict returns the favor, upon his arrest by His Majesty's soldiers, by declaring that it was he who stole a meat pie and a dram of brandy from the blacksmith's house. Then Miss Haversham starts inviting Pip to "play" in her huge mansion (all but deserted, and with a Haunted House look completed with cobwebs). There he meets a proud, insulting but pretty girl whose company the lady encourages him to keep. This lasts until Pip turns 14 and begins his [[apprenticeship]] with Joe the blacksmith.

When he is 20, Pip is summoned to London to become a gentleman of "great expectations" by an unknown benefactor. At first he is stunned with gratitude, but within a year he comes to realize: "... in trying to become a gentleman, I had succeeded in becoming a snob." A meeting with Joe is awkward, and Pip reflects, "There no are no swindlers in this world to compare with the self-swindler." (see [[Denial]])
